Description

The Miner was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. The Miner was established by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. After leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, Houston established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. The Miner was published by The Miner Printing and Publishing Company, and the paper's longest-serving editor was D. J. Beaton. The Miner was published under two variant titles, the Nelson Weekly Miner and the Weekly Miner. In 1902, the paper was sold to F. J. Deane, who changed the title to the Weekly News.

The lecturer had prepared his subject ���������caret"ally, and as it was general in its n&tue. was ������������������'made, to apply to every country in the world. The lecturer impressed upon his hearers the mistake usually made in .attributing to local causes the presense of a depression which is in fact universal. Respecting the silver question, the lecturer held, to the theory that the trouble was due to limitations on its distribution, rather than to overproduction. He set up bimetallism as the solution of the silver question, but did. not hold out any hope that such a system would he established until an international conference had decided in its favor.

A Colorado JUhni .TI;ikcs ;i 'S'rin Over the Kelt uYorlh of ESear LaSie. E. P. Suyda.m of Denver Colorado wa in town on Wednesday on legal business connected with some properties on Four Mile creek. Mr. Suydam had a grip 'full of ore from a group of properties near Bear Lake and in the neighbourhood of Colonel Russel'sjrieli strike made last year. It uppers that the Colonel having followed up the apperantly",blankefc vein which he discovered has now got it clipping into the hill with every appearence of a strong vein Among other claims located in the neighborhood is the Miner Boy of which the prin- ; cipal owner is the redoubtable Micky Hayes of old time Nelson fame. Development work this year has disclosed a vein of the same quality of dry silver ore as the Colonel's. Micky is now sacking ore that will average 1000 oz. to the ton. Not so bad for an old Kootenay stiff This is a group of properties that can .ship ore with silver at 25 cents an ounce. The far- famed Kootenay country has become noted the world over for its rich properties. Vast ledges of silver- lead and copper- silver bearing ores abound to such an extent that the ��������� announcement, of a new discovery along that line fails to awaken anything further than a passing interest. Occasionally, however, a find is made that causes even the most stolid of Nelson's experts to open their eyes, and when sent abroad by various veracious correspondedts, makes the world woq: der anew. ...... One of these was recently made near Nelson. Soma two miles below town on the'line of the C. & K. railroad there has been located one of the most unique finds noted in this section. It is a gold leaf ledge of a richness fairly dazzling to the naked eye. An excellent country rock abounds, and the mineralized formation is a decomposed quartz vein rich in oxides from the original bisulphides. In the honeycombs formed by the washing away of the oxides the leaf shows up in all its brilliancy as if just from the hands of the gold beater. The lucky locators of the bonanza have erected a fence around the discovery point, to keep out the ���������many visitors who insist on carrying off rich specimens. A well posted gentleman brought a piece of the rock into the Miner office, and all hands pronounced it a very neat thing. I Ik Hoard of Trade Mill .See if the S. A V. S.

Jt question which the members of the South Kootenay Board of Trade sought to dispose of yesterday afternoon. For months the construction work on the Nelson & Fort Sheppard railroad has been going on, and everyone has been waiting for pay-day. The tardiness of the payments necessitated the discounting of time checks by those who were in need of ready money, at the business houses in Nelson. lu the fulness of time the paymaster arrived arid some of the men received their money, and some did not, but the strange part of the paymaster's action was the ordering of all time checks, taken in exchange by merchants, or held by other than those wrlio worked on the road, to be presented at Say ward for payment. The effect of this move will be that, merchants will not be inclined to deal in time checks at all, and Nelson will thus be deprived of any trade with those employed on the road. B. E. Lemon occupied the chair at. the Board of Trade, meeting yesterday. After the subject had been thoroughly ventilated, it was considered advisable' to bring the matter.into the courts, and make a test case of the time checks, which at present aeei'u LOiead "payabie God knows when, God knows where." The Board appointed a committee conposed of R.. LC. Lemon, president; D. B. Bogle and'Bobt. A. Kenwick, to look into the matter, and secure a good case to put inro the courts, and report. If the committee is successful in securing a good case,the chances are that time checks on the N. A: F. S. wili be paid where they are earned, and .when due.

The story of fresh complications between France and Siam cabled exclusively to the Associated Press yesterday was fully confirmed to-day by the utterances of the French press. There is no doubt that France is fretting under the scoring comments of foreign newspapers upon her alleged backdown before England's firm attitude, There is still less doubt that the French government is determined that, the foreign press shall not easily have another such chance to hold up the republic to ridicule. Much irritation is felt against England from the fact that she was supporting, if not advising Sin.m in the dilatory attitude the latter country assumed' in the treatment of concessions made to France. In consequence the French newspapers are spurring the government to make a determined effort to teach England not to interfere with the colonial policies of France. Not only has Karl Dutt'erin postponed his proposed vacation to Switzerland, but it is added that dispatches of the most important nature were exchanged yesterday between the' British foreign office and the British embassy at Paris.

Although it was generally understood that the House of Lords would reject the Home Rule bill on Friday evening of last week, the house did not fill up until after the dinner hour, popular interest centeri ng in the speech of the Ma-rep lis of Salisbury, who was not expected to rise until midnight. Conspicuously occupying a portion of the area of the house were twenty-two bishops attired in their robes, with lawn sleeves. The Archibishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, the Bishop of Oxford, and every other'notable church dignitary was present. Members of the House of Commons crowded the recesses and standing room around the throne. The debate in. the house reached the acme of dullness in Earl Morley's maundering? against the bill.

This policy would be madness in dealing with ordinary men, and more than madness iir dealing with a race that for centuries had hated England. As long as England was true, to herself, she would never allow this atrocious dismemberment, this treachery, this revolution. Their lordships would be untrue to the duly which devolved upon them from a splendid ancestry, and untrue to the highest traditions if they failed to reject the bill." as the house generally Lord Salisbury seizing a chance during a momentary.pause, rose at10.30 o'clock amid rapturous cheers and began his speech. Throughout the debate the one question constantly present in his mind was : Why'liad-the Government introduced such a Bill? On this point the house had received no sufficient enlightment. Some peers, who had defended the bill,, had made able speeches without much reference to the real nature of the' bill. The Lord Chancellor had virtually told them that he did not quite believe with the government on one subject, thati'n deal-f iv>g with the retention of the Irish members at Westminster, which was an outrage on England so enormous and so grotesque that it was surprising that it had ever found a place in the proposal eminating from a responsible government. The Lord Chancellor had declared that he was not inclined to associate himself with so desperate a clause, but would prepare some other arrangement. Then in dealing with the abandonment of the landlords, the Lord. Chancellor had admitted, that their fate would be terrible, but said that they had brought it on themselves. Finally the Lord Chancellor had finished his account of his own intellectual position by protesting'with a vigor thoroughly sincere, against anybody desiring to know the real opinion of any cabinet 'member upon a cabinet bill. The Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Lord Rosebery, also had avoided the burning subjects underlying the government's policy. The problem which-the Foreign Secretary seemed to have set himself to solve was in an hour's speech to avoid giving pledges that might be inconvenient in the future; and he had solved the problem.; with absolute success. Much had been said of the benefits of autonomous government, but there had not been for a century a statesman bold enough to propose that an autonomous colony should send SO members to the Imperial parliament, representing no interest in England and bound by no responsibility with respect to the possible application of laws that parliament passed. The absurdity of such a position was enough to send a man to Bedlam. How could they get rid of Irish questions in the presence of SO members seeking to make themselves marketable wares in negotiations with the ministers? Would these men sent by Archbishop Walsh, be quiet on questions of religion and education ? What appeared to shine visably through all the arguments was a policy of despair, the Liberals having said: "You have failed, we do not know how to succeed, but we will try something that nobody has tried before." What moral or political right had any government to embark on such an experimental policy in Ireland, divided to her base by party conflicts, which during seven centuries of English rule had increased rather than diminish- that he was no enthusiast for Home . ...... . ^ A . Rule. He supported it as the best of three courses open. To adopt Home Rule, continue the policy of rcoecion, or to disfranchise Ireland. ; If coercion were to be continue'cl the future of Ireland would be. a' deplorable one. Secret societies would again be formed, and the reign of assination would be renewed. Coercion was a valuable instrument but' it demanded continuity which it never could obtain. The disfranchisement of Ireland was an impossible course. Home Rule therefore was the alternative. In concluding Lord Rosebery said that the present bill was undoubtedly an experiment, 'but' most legislation was experimental, and Irish legislation was necessarily so. It was a large and generous experiment. It was not a leap in the dark, hut a leap in the light. It was a leap toward the reconciliation of two nations too long divided. The House divided at midnight and the result was the rejection of the motion by a vote of 419 to 41. As might have been expected the press comments on the. action of the House of Lords were strong and varied. The Daily News says:���������Nothing is more favorable to the success of a political or social reform, than a, large hostile majority in the House of L'.irds. If thecTories had had more sense, they would have made the majority smaller and we should have fared worse. The Daily Chronicle says :���������Our reply is extremely simple. The abolition of the House of Lords now becomes a plank of the Radical platform, and the clauses of the Home Rule bill providing for a second chamber in Ireland must be modified. Down with the House of Lords., The Standard says :���������When a government tamely submits to such a rebuff, the public will draw the conclusion that it. is afraid to face the country. The Times believes that the decision of the House of Lords will be sustained by an overwhelming majority of the English people. cision as to his course after the rejection .of the bill by the house' of lords.' The royal idea is that Gladotone should appeal to the country, and the determination which is understood to be expressed by Gladstone in his,special dispatch���������to hold on indefinitely���������will not. suit,.Her Majesty at all. It is surmised that Gladstone intimated in the dispatch carried to Balmoral,the readiness of the cabinet to submit to the Queen's prerogative to dismiss her present ministers. This intimation would'mean lit tie, however, as he knows' he can' rely on the Queen's discretion to take no step involving the crown in the popular outcry against the "house of lords. A large and '.influential,-party of the ultra-Tory party expect such diiect intervention from the Queen; but their expectations will hardly be realized.' On the other hand, the Queen's opinion as to.the proper course for Gladstone to take will weigh with him undoubtedly in hastening his appeal to the country. *!EMbW?i ttEt.fcNT 'APZ'IAVATIOS.

The home rule situation grows more interesting now that the government may be forced to appeal to the country. Late London advices state that Sir Hen ry Ponsonby, the Queen's private secretary, passed one night at Blackcrag castle, where Mr. Gladstone is taking a holiday with Mrs. Gladstone and a party of friends. The next morning he and the prime minister had a long interview and before noon Sir Henry left with a special dispatch from Gladstone to the Queen concerning the government's attitude toward the defeat of the home rule, bill in the house of lords. Sir Henry was conveyed in all haste from Black- crag castle to the railway station at Coupar Angus, where an express train carried him to Balmoral. The Queen is known to have awaited "Nearly all the Cceur d' Alene mines will be working on their full capacity within a few weeks, and we will have a payroll of over $300,000 a month, over two-thirds of which will be expended in Spokane." This statement was made by a mine owner to a Spokane newspaper man. The reason given for this was that lead has ad vanced to $6 a ton. "Yes I mean what I say," this man is reported to have said. " I have a tele- grain in my pocket to that effect, and I believe it is true. The mine-owners are all contemplating opening the mines in the near future, but with an advance in lead to over four cents the> will be started in full blast at the earliest possible moment. Our mines''in the Cceur d' Alene country are-lead-silver mines, not silver-lead mines. This will mean from $200,000 to S300.000 for- Spokane every month. I see no reason why the report should not be true, for when the price of silver went down the production of lead was practically shut off. You know we furnish a large percentage of the lead produced in the United States and it could not take long to run the supply short. The mine owners have beenexpecting something like this for several weeks, but I will acknowledge that the big jump was a surprise to me." The above is a sample of the reliable mining news which the Spokane newspapers swallow and then retail to their readers. NOT8GE. OTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT A. S.

It would be interesting at the present time it it were possible to secure Lhe real inside truck of the immense combine against silver-. That many of those who are working' against the white metal are not sincere is well known. That is, they arc really of the opinion that silver will always be able to secure recognition its a, money metal. .But having for the time being the control of the gold supply, they propose to increase its purchasing power to as great a degree as possible. This is the- spirit of the majority of financial speculations, and it as unreasonable for the'friends of silver' to expect anything else. That.even (he goldbugs themselves .have no hope that they will ultimately ���������down silver, is almost certain. Tire chances are that the majority of them, if compelled to sincerely slate their opinion as to t he final solution of the problem. woe.Id agree with, the following from the Spokane Keview: "A gentlei'iian connected with a prominent bankers'publication...in the east, has written a pointed letter to a Denver- banker discussing- the silver issue. Following is a part of Lhe letter. "Personally I am -desirous' of seeing the Sherman law repealed, to prove to some of our eastern ' calamity howlers' that it is not the cause of our financial ills. On the other hand it will notprove as disastrous to the silver producing states of some of our western friends are inclined'to think. It may, temporarily, limit production, and work some few hardships, but it will be only temporary.' No sooner will a slight contraction in the currency; become noticeable, than an immediate demand will come for free coinage, and it will come like ���������one vast, wave, .and it will not be at an increased ratio. "The"'most ardent advocate of the. yellow metal, has in congress freely admitted in his speech befora the house of representatives a few days since that the world's supply of gold was entirely too smail to be used as a basis alone. This is practically the admission made by Congressman Ray nor of Maryland, only a few days ago. "In my opinion the silver men can well afford to give the anti-silverites all the rope and allow them to repeal the Sherman law unconditionally. The reaction will come in a very short time, and silver will have its day, and it is not far off. Bimetallism for this and all civilized nations, is as certain as the sun that shines." Whoever wrote that letter certainly had a keen insight into the future of the This means more than would at first appear. It means.that despite the condition of the metal market, between 20 and 30.tons of ore are being shipped daily^from the Slocan country. In addition to this it is known that a number of the leading properties are taking out ore and storing it until such time as the railroad now being built into that section will enable them to ship cheaper- than , by wagon.' In all there will be between two and three hundred men at work in, the Slocan mines this fall, and the greater number of them will remain during the winter. In fact now that the building of the Nnkusp & Slocan railroad through to Three Forks before winter is an assured thing, it is probable that the present working force in the Slocan may be materially increased for the winter. The upward tendency of lead will no doubt stimulate this section to a great extent. A CHANGE OF POLICY. The world generally has been rather sickened with the "bridle deep in blood" style of literature to be found in most of the. western newspapes since ,the silver agitation first took definite form. When this was at its highest, the Miner predicted that it was a sentiment bound to be short lived. That is, that the thinking portion of those communities would soon come to realize that the more sensible course to pursue would be to take up and utilize the many other resources of those great western states instead of raising the foolish and useless to adhere together, then in place of the pulverizers, two roasters are attached which ��������� thoroughly dry the dirt as it passes through them. " Everything works automatically, ..from the raising of the bucket from the shaft to the motions of the screens and agitators. The capacity of the machine is estimated at fifty tons per day, and it can be run for a week without a cleanup, at the end of which time the concentrates are such that a small amount of water is all that is necessary to pan them.��������� Denver Mining Journal.

The Denver Mining Journal one of the new but very influential mining papers of Colorado, has already adopted a new style and many others are following suit. The following " leader" from the Journal has the right ring as showing that the " my way or nothing" policy is being abandoned. One of the most healthful signs of the growth of intelligence and conservative mining, is to be observed in the general rehabilitation of abandoned gold mines, which were very productive in the past. Improved machinery, cheap transportation, and the ' marvelous advance in metallurgical adaptations have enabled these mines, to be again worked and rendered their ores desirable to the smelters. Far-seeing men.are investigating these old districts and securing at nominal prices, these idle 'mines and converting them into veritable bonanzas. A man can put his money iuto gold mining with assurance that whatever the legislation may be, there will always be a demand for gold, as there are-thousands of millions of dollar's of mortgages and debts in which is written -'Principal and interest payable in gold."

It is a large and complete machine, yet simple in its process of working, 'a short description of which is a follows: At the base, lying horizontal, and encircling the machine, is a masterwheel ten feet in diameter, which is operated similar- to a horse-power. Over this wheel the framework stands about ten feet high, and is divided into apartments for screens, etc. The machine stands directly over the shaft, carrying the pay dirt up by means of a bucket from which the dirt is emptied into pulverizers���������cylinders in which are revolving shafts with twenty-three cast iron balls attached, pulverizing the dirt preparatory to entering the revolving screens. From these pulverizers the dirt is taken bj7- means of elevators to the revolving screens four-teen in number, which prepare and size the dirt for the horizontal screens, which ultimately save the gold. There are twenty-eight of these last- named screens, and they oscillate forward, backward, upward, downward, each movement being accompanied by a positive jar. In each of these screens are set twelve revolving brushes, which agitate the dirt, thus helping along the work of the screens. The screens vary in the size of meshes.

"Why cannot a man go on living for an indefinite ��������� period, much longer than the present one?" Nine out of ten people who have arrived at years of maturity, in comfortable circumstances and good health, have asked that question. The scientific world has puzzled over its physical aspect, and the religious world has offered many solutions of its moral side, all hi ore or less unsatisfactory���������to those who die. , That question has been the parent of some of the most valuable additions to the sum of human knowledge. The alchemists of old pondered over it as they eyed astonished the chemical reaction in simmering crucible or bubbling flask. Asked it again and again as they turned the'musty parchments of those who had lived and wondered and died before, them, leaving only the unintelligable record of a hazy guess. Potent fluids brewed those old men sometimes. Fluids that rau=riQt- through the brain, and quickened the slow pulse of age, until it was no wonder that they felt like exclaiming, ''Eureka! The Elixir! It is not on record, but it is quite probable that rminy a large antique head resulted, and the alchemist awake to murmur, "0 what a difference in the morning." against fearful odds. Groyer Cleveland the other man, is also respected in many ways even by those who hate him. Of a strong personality, firm in his pursuit of what appears right in the eyes of Cleveland, it is not. strange that he has made enemies even more enthusiastic than his friends. This enmity is just now'finding expression in popular acts that savor very much of what is often called boy's play. Such .paragraph's as the following appeal- in the press dispatches from time to time: Tom's river' N. J.,:���������The reward offered for information that would lead to the identity of the persons who hanged President Cleveland in effigy docs not seem to have frightened the perpetrators of the insult. The town awoke the next 'morning to find hanging from the flagpole at the school house grounds another effigy. The grand jury is now in" session, and this matter will probably be touched upon in its indictments. '.��������� r f<V And yet from these researches after- che elixir of life came modern chemistry, which has given to the world secrets of nature more wonderful in many ways than even a successful outcome of the old secret could have been. The pages of history arc filled with incidents that serve to 'illustrate the immense balance of power ouen wrapped up in one human life. A balance due that grim creditor Death. -Loaned for a few years at mighty tiiury, nut collected ultimately to the utmost farthing, and often at the most inopportune time. Of all public men of modei n tones, no one has served to better illustrate this than Gladstone. Time and time again has ��������� "Fate dashed from his lips the sweet cup of ultimate success. The "edifice which his ambition has buildetl through the years, has come tumbling ii.nvu, only to be rebuilt by patient toil, while ever at his elbow stands that inexorable credit- ordemanding settlement. Pushed back by the force of a mighty will, oniy to come again more urgently pressing his claim. His long and hi tier home rule fight has ended success/ally in the house of commons only to meet, with defeat in the house of lords. This may be re- gaided as final so far us Gladstone is concerned, for it is beyond belief that. at his time of life he can again take up the weary fight and push it to a successful issue. Long overdue, his account/ must soon be settled. In the game of politics Death .oft en plays the trump. For some time past the world has watched the progress of the home rule fight with great interest. The expressions of the press of places not directly interested in the fight have been, as a rule favorable toward the ^granting of Gladstone's demands. This .has found expression in the general declaration that the time has passed when any, people should desire to govern themselves, and not be permitted to do so. Though the question is far from solution as regards Ireland, it bicls fair to be raised in other parts of the world, and perhaps with quite as good reason. The lack of a community of interests urged by the friends of home rule, would apply with equal force to the western portion of the United States. Home Rule may yet be demanded by that vast area of country lying west of the Mississippi river. Will those American papers which now so loudly urge Ireland's claim, be willing to use the same arguments and, draw the same conclusions in this case?
